Natatorium Pool Heater Affecting Swim Temperature

(February 19, 2019) Due to the Corpus Christi Natatorium’s competition pool heater not operating, swimmers will be experiencing lower than normal swim temperatures. Maintenance has been scheduled for later this week to resolve the issue.

SPLASH PARTIES

TWO YEAR-ROUND POOLS

The Natatorium is our newly renovated indoor OLYMPIC-STYLE POOL facility designed to host competitive swim meets. The pool has many lanes for lap swimming which also makes it ideal for conditioning. It now has a large, tiled-pool floor with lane stripes to guide the path for swimmers. Enjoy the warm activity pool or jump into the deep end from one of the five diving boards! We invite you to come for a tour and book a fun party for your guests to have an extraordinary experience.

Collier Pool is our newly reconstructed outdoor pool which features the BIG BUCKET DUNK! Enjoy the beach-inspired entry, experience the splash of the big bucket, fun water features, picnic tables and relax under the gulf streams, or jump into the deep end! The pool also includes six lanes and is heated for year-round lap swimming.

SWIM LESSONS

Through our swim lessons, we teach swimmers of all ages and skill levels to master swimming while also teaching the importance of water safety. Please view ‘Swim Lesson Levels’for more details on the structure of our learn-to-swim program. Group swimming lessons are designed for children ages 3-12. Teen/Adult, as well as Parent & Toddler classes, are also available. Level placement is based on the student’s swimming ability, age, and date registered. Swimmers ‘graduate’ to more advanced levels once they are competent in all the skills covered in the previous level.

JOIN OUR TEAM

The Aquatics Program is always looking for a few good men and women dedicated to providing high-quality instruction and water safety as well as enjoy working with persons of all ages in an exciting and fun environment.
